Pontypridd: It’s a heartbreaking story. Two people, Kayleigh Cornwell and Jason Morgan, lost their lives after lying in the middle of the road. They were hit by a car, and it was a tragic scene.
The inquest revealed they were both heavily intoxicated. They had been trying to get back to Jason’s flat after mistakenly getting on the wrong bus. It’s just so sad how things turned out.
Kayleigh, 32, had a tough life. She moved out at 14 and had five kids. She moved to South Wales to start fresh, but things spiraled down for her. Her family said she struggled with depression and alcohol.
Jason, also 32, had his own battles. He was diagnosed with ADHD and faced a lot of challenges, including homelessness. But he was trying to turn his life around before this tragedy struck.
Witnesses saw them zig-zagging in and out of the road, and it was clear they were intoxicated. One witness even warned them that someone would get hurt. It’s just so tragic that it came to this.
When the accident happened, a driver named Jonathan Owens was on his way home with his kids. He didn’t see them until it was too late. He was driving within the speed limit, but the impact was devastating.
Emergency responders arrived quickly, but sadly, both Kayleigh and Jason were pronounced dead at the scene. The coroner noted that their intoxication played a significant role in their deaths.
It’s a tough reminder of how quickly things can go wrong. Both families are left grieving, and it’s just a heartbreaking situation all around.
